Explanation:

  • This HTML document demonstrates how to specify the color of the border using CSS.
  • The CSS style block defines styling for different classes of heading elements.
  • For each class (solid, dotted, dashed):
    • border-style property is set to define the border style.
    • border-width property is set to define the border width.
    • border-color property is set to define the border color.
  • The HTML content consists of headings (<h1>) with different classes, each demonstrating a different border style and color.
